Hawksbill sea turtles nest on this long white-sand beach minutes from central Abu Dhabi, which tells you something about how seriously the island takes its coastline. The surrounding waters are a protected marine reserve, so the dolphins out there aren't accidental. Ranked 19th on the World's 50 Best Beaches list, Saadiyat is the kind of place that makes city beaches in other Gulf capitals feel like afterthoughts.
